Grayson Waller Effect
Grayson Waller would bring back his talk show the Grayson Waller Effect with special guest Cody Rhodes. Grayson would question Cody and Kevin Owens’s friendship as he would show Cody a video reel of all the times Kevin Owens has betrayed one of his friends. This would bring Kevin Owens out who would then challenge Grayson Waller and Austin Theory to a tag match in the main event.
La Knight Vs Santos Escobar
As the match was announced, Angel and Berto would attack La Knight before throwing him back into the ring. The referee would then send Angel and Berto to the backstage area followed by Electra Lopez who tried to argue with the decision. With Santos Escobar being alone La Knight would fight his way back into the match and win after an elbow from the top rope and a BFT.
Isla Dawn, Alba Fyre, and Blair Davenport vs Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill, and Naomi
With a tag championship match made official with Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre facing Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair at Bash in Berlin both teams wanted to gain an advantage in this match. Naomi was able to win for her team by hitting a springboard moonsault onto Blair Davenport to get the pin.
Street Profits vs The Bloodline
Before this match got underway Solo Sikoa would make Jacob Fatu give his title belt to Tonga Loa as Jacob Fatu had the more important job of being Solo’s enforcer. The match would start after the Street Profit would interrupt the Bloodlines meeting. Tonga Loa and Tama Tonga were able to retain their titles with some outside help from Solo distracting the referee and Jacob Fatu kicking Angelo Dawkins’s face. Post-match the Bloodline would try and take out the Street Profits while DIY would attempt to make a rescue until Jacob Fatu and Solo were able to take them out as well.
Kevin Owen and Cody Rhodes VS A-Town Down Under
Throughout the match, they would play with the idea of a possible Kevin Owens betrayal as Cody would struggle to tag Kevin in. When Cody was able to make the tag Kevin Owens would run a rampage and secure the win over A-Town Down Under. After the match, there was an interesting moment between Kevin and Cody as Kevin looked like he was going to attack Cody with the title but nothing came of it.
